Oliver Plunkett has asked: Yesterday Tony Abbott proposed and announced that Coalition Asylum seeker policy entailing “removing fuel tanks” from the incoming seaworthy boats forcing them to return to Indonesia.' Indonesia is not a signatory to the Refugee Convention. Why then does the coalition argue that the rights of asylum seekers will breached when sent to a non-signatory nation like Malaysia - when the coalition plans on doing just that? If they are refugees would it not be illegal to simply turn the boats back?
